What is BCN? Many sub-groups have been established from the PDC over the last few years, one being the Business Champions Network (BCN). The BCN is an informal network of companies and organizations that are interested in advancing and shaping the workplace inclusion environment in the Edmonton region. The purpose of the BCN is to connect employers from across Edmonton who are seeking to work collaboratively to increase both inclusion and representation of people with disabilities within the broader workforce. Members of the Network are engaged in two principal ways: As contributing participants within a community of practice: Members are striving to increase their knowledge and skills, while innovating, sharing best practices, and improving processes that could help to build a workplace where employees with disabilities are respected and valued colleagues. As business champions who promote inclusion with other employers: Members act as champions and actively engage with other employers to share their experiences and stories, as they relate to the successful employment of persons with disabilities.
